CIBC has named former Manulife executive Marianne Harrison to its board of directors.
She will join the board effective Sept. 8.
The bank says Harrison brings significant experience in financial services after holding a variety of senior leadership roles over the past 25 years.
Harrison is a former president and chief executive of John Hancock and of Manulife Canada.
CIBC board chair Kate Stevenson says Harrison’s perspective and leadership will strengthen the bank’s commitment to governance, while her strategic insight will help advance its client-focused strategy.
The appointment comes as CIBC chief executive Victor Dodig prepares to retire at the end of October. He will be succeeded by Harry Culham.
